Does this wireless speaker work with amazon Alexa's Echo&gt;

Asked by: kcdude_98

You can connect the Echo Dot to the Esquire 2. Since the Echo dot can pair to Bluetooth speakers, this should be no problem. Simply put the Esquire 2 in pairing mode and use the Bluetooth settings in Alexa app to connect to it.
